"Little God's Children" is a new drama by actress Jin Yubin who has been on the small screen for 4 years, directed by "Inheritors" Jiang Xinxiao, and written by Han Youli, the writer of the information program "I Want to Know the Truth". Jin Yubin, who has been active on the big screen in recent years, is obviously better than the TV series in the movie, this time promising to take over the role of "Little God's Children", in addition to the first attempt to have a female policewoman with a generalized physique, the role setting is extremely novel and special, jumping out of the style of the past criminal investigation mystery drama, I believe it is the main reason for attracting Jin Yubin to return to the small screen, of course, it has become one of the reasons for the audience's curiosity to lock.
"Children of the Little Gods" began with a religious mass suicide many years ago, 31 people were killed, and the little girl who witnessed the whole incident seemed to be able to sense it long before the incident. Years later, the little girl grows up to become a policewoman Jin Tan (Jin Yubin) with a special psychic physique, and in the serial murder demon Han Shangjiu incident, it is foreseen that he will kill the sister of IQ167 elite criminal police officer Senzai-jin (Jiang Zhiyan), but no one believes it; Chizai-jin resigns from the criminal police after losing his sister, privately investigates and secretly interviews han Shangjiu, and encounters Jintan again in the process, and discovers that Han Shangjiu's case seems to be related to the religious collective suicide many years ago! ?
The religious mass suicide incident in the opening scene actually has an absolute importance throughout the whole play, and it is difficult not to think of the "Jonestown mass suicide incident" that occurred in the United States on November 18, 1978. In 1953, the American Jim Jones called himself "the embodiment of God" and founded the People's Templar Church, which had nearly 5,000 followers in its heyday; in 1974, the People's Templar Church created a community in Gaiana, which became "Jonestown", Jones imposed strict personal restrictions on believers and took most of the fruits of the believers' labor without compensation, 4 years later, US Congressman Leorian came to Jonestown to investigate the accusations against the sect, and was shot at the airport, Jones knew that he was guilty of the blame, Ordering 913 believers to drink cyanide-doped grape juice, "Jonestown" became synonymous with the horrific events that took place in the region.
As long as you have a clear understanding of the "Jonestown Mass Suicide Incident", you can understand that Han Youli, a writer who used to write for the information program "I Want to Know the Truth", should have been inspired by this to write "Children of the Little Gods". "I want to know the truth" is a program produced by SBS, the content is all-encompassing, in addition to searching for various incredible events around the world for the audience, it will also conduct in-depth analysis and discussion of social cases that occur around the world, so it has won the Best Education and Culture Program Award of the TV Department of the Baeksang Arts Awards, and Han Youli, who has been writing content for the program for many years, has invested all the information and skills she has obtained in this regard in the TV series "Little God's Children", and also for this drama to stand out in many criminal investigation mystery dramas in recent years. It has become a multi-genre drama that skillfully combines religious issues, social events and scientific case handling, and supernatural legends.
In fact, all dramas often reflect the current social phenomena and atmospheres, which also include reflections that are conveyed to the general public through the protagonists or story content. For example, in "Little God's Children", the IQ167 elite criminal police officer Senzai Ren, played by the male protagonist Jiang Zhiyan, although he appeared in an enviable and gorgeous way, always relied on science to handle cases, did not trust anyone, and thus let his beloved sister be killed, which made him get reflection: learning to listen to and care for others, the world is not only wrong and right, black or white, sometimes seeing is not necessarily true.
The screenwriter uses the heroine Jin Yubin to play the psychic jin tan, and repeatedly conveys the message of "love" to the audience: love that is not stingy to family, colleagues, friends, and even strangers. Perhaps innocence and kindness will inevitably be hurt, but only goodness and love can heal everything and sublimate suffering, which is a little glimmer and hope that we can glimpse human nature in the golden altar.
